Lyrics
Okay!
This is a story of a song that started out as a remix
But they wouldn't release it
Such a shame, such a shame
Then I said to myself
Shouldn't I just finish it anyway
And make it a song for myself?
So that is what I did
And in this track, step by step, I will explain
How this works, what you say
Well, I'm talking about the Talkbox
He goes
'Cause when you talkbox, this is what you do
You play your notes on your keyboard
What you play comes out of the tube
Not the other way 'round, which is a common misconception
So, to clarify, no, you're not singing
You make the lyrics with your mouth
But you cannot use your vocal chords
Which is hard, which is hard
Some of the fun things you can do with a talkbox
You can hold a note for as long as you like
Because you need no breath
Or I can do this for a more speech-like sound
Wow!
'Cause when you talkbox, this is what you do
You play your notes on your keyboard (On your keyboard)
What you play comes out of the tube
Not the other way 'round (No, no, no
No), which is a common misconception
So, to clarify, no, you're not singing
You make the lyrics with your mouth
But you cannot use your vocal chords (No, no, no, no)
And it's hard, so, so, so hard
What else is there to say?
If you wanna do harmonies, I'd rather not play the modern ones
I mean, you can, but you're getting a lot of distortion
Let me demonstrate
Actually, that sounds lovely
But for a cleaner sound, you need overdubs
That's all
'Cause when you talkbox, this is what you do (What you do)
You play your notes on your keyboard (On your keyboard)
What you play comes out of the tube
Not the other way 'round (No, no, no
No), which is a common misconception
So, to clarify, no, you're not singing
You make the lyrics with your mouth
But the talkbox part is over now
I'm gonna play some synthesizers
Hey!
